"My experience at Ayuda thus far has been so rewarding, and beyond anything that I could have hoped for. I feel so lucky to be surrounded (virtually) by individuals dedicated to leaving a positive mark on this world. I am thankful that Equal Justice America is committed to doing the same, and am so grateful that they helped to make this summer internship experience a possibility for me."

I’m so proud to work with the Child Care Law Center! They refuse to keep silent on the ongoing conditions at the border and the terrible effect that current immigration policy is having on families and children Every family deserves to be together and have what they need to be safe and healthy. Yet children continue to be forcibly separated from their families. And the trauma that children are experiencing will impact them for a lifetime…Please consider donating to Equal Justice America so that my work, and the work of my peers, may continue.

One of the attorneys ran a group that met once a month called People Power Action which was comprised of community members and focused on giving community members a chance to have their voices heard…Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at the Legal Clinic and feel that I gained valuable skills in direct client representation and advocacy. I am grateful for the support that Equal Justice America provided in allowing me to intern at this important organization.
